'I absolutely LOVED this book! It’s that perfect blend of funny and emotional … A genuinely entertaining and heartwarming read!' READER REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘A darkly funny riot’ The Times, Book of the Month

A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR FICTION 2024

Would you want to know what your colleagues say behind your back?

Jolene certainly doesn’t.

She’s riddled with anxiety, depressed, and hates her coworkers. The less she knows about them, the better.

So when a catastrophic IT f*ck up grants her access to all of their emails and private messages, she’s initially horrified. The last thing she wants is to be privy to their sad discussions about dying desk plants and marital troubles.

That’s until, with job cuts looming, she realises the power this new-found knowledge gives her.

But as she digs deeper and deeper into the private lives of her colleagues, Jolene uncovers a lot more than she bargained for… And the walls she’d so carefully built start crumbling down.

For readers who loved The Office US and Really Good, Actually comes the awkward heroine you’re about to fall in love with

Critics Review

AN APPLE TOP TEN FAVOURITE DEBUT OF 2024

A GOODREADS CHOICE AWARD FOR FICTION 2024

‘A darkly funny riot… a heroine you end up feeling fuzzy about’ The Times

‘This darkly funny debut novel will resonate with anyone who’s worked a soul-crushing corporate job’ Red

‘Wickedly funny … This sparking debut will have you snickering in the break room’ People Magazine

‘A darkly funny satire that cuts right to the quick of modern office life, this will resonate with anyone who’s ever rolled their eyes at the water cooler’ Harper’s Bazaar

‘A sweet and smart reminder that no one has this figured out’ Stylist

‘A sharp, witty debut’ Woman & Home

‘Such a clever, funny, bittersweet read – if Eleanor Oliphant worked in an office, she’d be friends with Jolene’ Belfast Telegraph

‘Bright, hilarious, witty and so moving … Sue portrays the tedium and triumph of life in an office cubicle’ Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Jetsetters

‘Unexpected, surprisingly sweet, and totally made my day. Which is to say: I devoured it! Fans of The Office will delight’ Shelby Van Pelt, author of Remarkably Bright Creatures

‘I knew I would fall in love from the first page … This is a book you’re going to want to read as slowly as possible to savor every hilarious, heartfelt moment’ Jesse Sutanto, author of Dial A for Aunties

‘Office Space meets Fleabag in this utterly unique, hilarious, and lovable novel’ Colleen Oakley, author of The Mostly True Story of Tanner and Louise

Probably in my top five books this year. Loved it from start to finish. Great inventive story, clever, witty, funny, sad - sometimes at the same time! I canu2019t believe itu2019s the first book from a new author. Looking forward to her next book.
I must also compliment the narrator who captured the mood and nuances perfectly.

I loved this, and couldn't stop listening! The narration was perfect. My only criticism of the book is that it's a little heavy on simile at times and a little unrealistic at times too. But I couldn't stop listening - I was always looking forward to when I would next hear from Jolene, who I loved.
